Miles Thomas gets the nod

Congratulations to Miles Thomas who has been selected to join the U14 squad of the English Lambs, seen here playing in his school (QEH) colours.

The English Lambs are chosen from the best players in England's Independent Schools. Having successfully taken part in the trials 2 weekends ago, he'll be joining the Lambs for fixtures in the New Year against London Irish, Northampton, Worcester & Gloucester.

Their ethos of running rugby and enjoyment closely mirrors that of Old Bristolians so I thought it worth repeating here:

"Rugby should and can be a game of perfect balance, a game where creative expression and physical courage meet in harmony.

The Lambs aim is to move away from over-prescriptive, boot-led rugby and give our players the opportunity to play ‘Fast and Free’!

We want our players to play heads-up rugby with the ball in hand allowing them to give full reign to their creative rugby abilities without being shackled by a win at all costs mentality. To win is good, but to win whilst playing the game in the right way is even better!"
